The three leading Russian improvisers (Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky - trumpet,
voice, Andrei Kondakov - piano, percussion, Vladimir Volkov - bass) have
been playing together for several years. This time they have come up with a
special project to compose their original pieces with references to jazz
standards. The sensitive ear will recognize glimpses of Duke Ellington or
Miles Davies. However, they are not aping Americans. Their references are a
part of their original compositions.
